UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS in Houston prepares students for life and career in a rapidly changing world. Through an accessible, affordable Catholic liberal arts education, students of all faiths earn the degrees they want while acquiring the skills that employer’s desire.

UST is a vibrant campus located in the heart of Houston’s Museum District near downtown and the Texas Medical Center. UST offers more than fifty undergraduate majors, thirty-five graduate degree programs, and eight online associate degrees, as well as health pre-professional programs. The most popular undergraduate majors are nursing, psychology, general business, finance, biology, and accounting. Graduates find meaningful work in a variety of settings.  

Among UST’s newest degree offerings is a fully online master’s in healthcare administration through the Cameron School of Business beginning in Spring 2024. The 30-hour degree program is designed for individuals who are currently or aspire to be leaders in healthcare settings. Today’s health organizations need ethical administrators who can manage the current components of health care and lead the health sector in new directions.

In a world where the demand for graduates with a criminology major is strong and growing, UST’s School of Education and Human Services is answering the surge in demand and giving its criminology students the Catholic social justice concepts they need. UST’s fully online Master of Arts in Criminology, Law and Society, introduced in 2023, is offered in seven week-long courses. Many criminal justice professionals are eligible for tuition reimbursement, such as Houston Police officers who can receive educational incentives of $6,240 per year.
